The Ondo state born grand prize
winner was highly elated, and said he didn’t know he would win. His words: “I
didn’t expect I would win because I was the youngest amongst adults. When I
came here and saw myself in the midst of adults, I felt intimidated. I’m very
happy to be the grand prize winner. I won two tickets meaning i will have to
travel to any of these destinations with someone, but it’s a very hard decision
to say whom I will be travelling with – dad or mum.”
He also explained that, even though
he had been to London, which is also an Emirates destination, he would love to
travel elsewhere. “I thank God and Emirates for this great opportunity to
choose and travel to other destinations. The opportunity to visit any of the
destinations will expose me to those places. I’ve never flown Emirates before,
but I’ve always heard about their great services – luxuries, ice entertainment,
games, etc. I love Emirates and encourage them to keep up with the good work,”
he added.
